Inter and false accounting

[kova9]

I read it everywhere today..

Apparently we had some irregularity in budget, ( they are mentioning some book?) in season 2004-2005..

without that book we shouldn't have been allowed to participate in 2004-05 season..

Some guy (don't know his name) from Italian Football Associacion said that we are risking to be relegated to serie B, if they prove that we are guilty!!

thats some sh*t!! Moratti better fix this!!:fero:

I don't think that we'll be relagated for something happened 3 seasons ago. Juve have been panished for worst things only last season the one before. I could be wrong, but I don't it's fair to panish us for some budget issues happened long time ago, while Juve got only Serie B for ages of cheating, it's just not fair.

According to Moratti those are unfounded rumours.

MORATTI: "ABSOLUTELY NOT WORRIED"
Wednesday, 17 January 2007 14:30:25

MILAN - "I'm calm, we're all calm. We will justify everything," said Massimo Moratti today about reports in Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera and news agencies regarding the investigations of prosecutors into the finances of Inter and other clubs. The Inter president also spoke about Tuesday's meeting with Roberto Mancini and the transfer market rumours of a Ronaldo move to AC Milan.

Dr Moratti, are you calm or surprised after reading the Corriere della Sera this morning?
"No, I'm not surprised because I knew about this matter. Maybe the front page was a bit excessive... (smiles), but we're calm about the matter in itself. With all due respect for the prosecutor, who is right to go into these things, we're confident we can justify them."

The report said that Inter risked not being enrolled for the 2004/05 championship...
"Unfounded rumours. As a matter of fact, I read a few inaccuracies..."

So Moratti and the club aren't worried?
"Yes, without doubt. I have also made enquiries with the experts who have followed this matter, and they're just as calm."

Back to the football. You finally had that meeting with Roberto Mancini last night...
"Yes, but there has never been any problem, he too wants to do well. It's not as if he's thinking about a future without getting the results we have yet to achieve."

Mancini himself has spoken of a project...
"With the experience he has gained at the club, he can look to the future by looking even more at the growth of the youngsters, something that he has always done, to see what the team needs tactically. And we talk about players of interest, but with the team that is doing so well at the moment, there's no intention of selling anybody."

But you have decided when you will meet to sign the contract...
"Yes, and I have already said it will be when nobody talks about it anymore. Ours is a good relationship."

How does it feel to see Ronaldo so close to joining Milan?
"I have already spoken of my disappointment from a human point of view. But from a professional viewpoint Ronaldo is free to choose what is best for him."

But are you surprised by the possibility of Ronaldo choosing Milan?
"This can happen during the life of a player... If this whole thing is true, perhaps he doesn't like it in Madrid anymore and he contacted a team that needs this kind of player... However, I don't want to get too involved in these things. And besides, I like Ronaldo."

Have you ever thought of bringing him back?
"You'd always bring back Ronaldo... But we don't have this necessity right now, while Milan do."

Just another stupid bluff, trying to attack Inter for jealous reasons.

serious id d word. i m too looking 4 sum sources. C4 has nt got nething yet

 

[Waleed]

Moratti's reassurances are enough for me right now. Seems like no matter what Inter do there will always be haters out there that have nothing better to do but print bullshit news about us.

 

[lonewolf19]

yea i read this news on soccernet.com I was scared tooT_T certainly hope this is not true. But in addition, Milan's Gallini is also questioned

The president of Inter Milan and the vice president of AC Milan have been placed under investigation by an Italian magistrate probing false accounting in Serie A football, a judicial source said on Wednesday.


Milan public prosecutor Carlo Nocerino plans to summon Inter's Massimo Moratti and Milan's Adriano Galliani for questioning in the investigation into possible balance sheet irregularities, the source told Reuters.


The prosecutor is investigating whether clubs manipulated their balance sheets by inflating the prices of players they bought and sold, the source said.

In Italy, being placed under investigation does not indicate guilt and does not necessarily lead to criminal charges.

Inter Milan refused to comment on the news, although they had previously said they were confident they would be able to refute any claims of financial irregularity. AC Milan have also insisted their books are correct.

Milan's public prosecutor has questioned whether Inter could have passed the financial tests required to take part in the 2004-05 Serie A season without improperly adjusting its accounts.

Nocerino intends to hand his findings to the Italian Football Federation, which could then decide whether to open its own investigation, the judicial source said.

Last September, Rome magistrates called for the president of AS Roma, Franco Sensi, and the former president of Lazio, Sergio Cragnotti, to stand trial for false accounting. Both men denied the accusations.

Other investigations into false accounting in Italian football are under way in Genoa and Turin.

 

[Zamat]

The whole thing seems like b*llshit to me.

Sensi and Cragnotti are to appear in trial, but they _needed_ the false accounting to hide the fact that the clubs are in fact close to bankrupt.
I don't think we're ever going to have, or had the same problem until Moratti is prez and people use oil... lots of it.

I certainly hope you are right mate~

Read on xt forum that those great fellows Moggi and Giraudo are investigated for the something only on a much larger scale. they are accused of 42 counts of embellishing prices when it came to transfer. They paid one amount but wrote a much bigger amount in the book. Inter and bilan are also accused along with other clubs but not at the scale of juve.

 

[DISCO ZZANG]

Milan and Inter.

Hey you called milan and Inter? Inter and Milan right. mother pucker garbage club never can ahead calling name than us.

thank you for adding intelligence to this ongoing discussion.

On another note, there are a bunch of reports for this out there....
http://www.sportitalia.com/calcio/serie-a/2006-2007/sport_sto1057592.shtml

and foxsports etc etc. This really sucks.....if this is actually something serious, and ends up with Inter and milan both getting even point penalties next season, expect Serie A to become the least desired league for hte next few years for any major players.

 

[kova9]

you can find it on www.calciomercato.it, www.sports.it and www.gazzetta.it.. but they are all in italian, so I don't completely understand.. I hope they are just rumours.

 

[Zamat]

I still don't get it how this could end up in penalization of the clubs.
Roma and Lazio's ex-president is already due to appear in court for the same reasons, and I cannot recall anyone threatening these 2 clubs with point deduction of relegation because of faulty bookkeeping (they were threatened on the basis of going bankrupt).

 

[Frisko]

Total bullshit, the investigation is not just about Inter or Moratti but many clubs and officials, and it's basically about prices being too high for players to cover financial troubles. Nothing that would ever be proven. Inter are NOT going to serie B, don't worry.

 

[Pajo]

This is bullsh1t, they only want to black our name... Fuk them, I don't believe a word from this..

 

[interista]

Can you please change the name of the topic..INTER IN B will never happen

 

[Adriano@10]

Again here u realy see that it seems like every body is against us and wants us bad . I mean there are a whole lot of clubs under investigation but all the headlines are only mentioning Inter. The other clubs were only mentioned briefley as if Inter was the only team who realy did somthing. But in fact i doubt we have done somthing wrong and if we have i realy doubt that anyone would be able too prove shit. This investigation we ll lead to nothing and in the end no club wil be punished
